Freedom to Live Independently

For seniors, individuals with medical conditions, or anyone with physical challenges, the Home Response medical alert system lets you keep your independence.

You can live at home feeling safer and more secure. You’re free to go about your day knowing you’re always in touch with someone who can help.

No longer is this service viewed as something strictly for medical emergencies. If you feel threatened by a break-in, are ill or apprehensive about something that is occurring at home, you are encouraged to press the Help Button.
